13、t about warming people?Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls andfurniture.And despite popular ideas about microwaves,this technique would be safe,according to Charles R.Burlier of theMicrowave Research Center in Marlborough,New Hamps

14、hire.Low-power microwaves only penetrate（贯穿）the skin（low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches,for example）and with no negative effects.To test this idea,Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt,2459 MHzmagnetron（磁控管）.He found that a pers

16、00 mw./sq.cm.In houses of the future,each room could be provided with its own magnetron,says Buffler.When you stepped intothe living room,for example,a motion detector（运动）熏应器）would turn on the magnetron,filling the room withlow-power microwaves.In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hambur

17、ger,but not the plate its on,you wouldfeel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table.（You could,however;make yourfavorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.）While it might be some time before homeowners are comf

33、e are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness.But infact,the opposite is true:more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result,many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness.They fear the pain inevitablybrought by such thing

42、University（CMU）and Germanys University of Karlsruhe,announced last week that it may soon be reality.He and his teamhave invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages tounderstand each other.One application,called Lecture Translation,can easily

43、translate a speech from one language into another.Currenttranslation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary.Users also have to be trained howto use the programme.Another prototype（雏形机）can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what

45、trodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements madenaturally when a person is mouthing words.The signals are then translated into speech.The electrodes could be replacedwith wireless chips implanted in a persons face,according to researchers.During a demonstration held last Thurs

46、day in CMUs Pittsburgh campus,a Chinese student named Stan Jou had 11 tinyelectrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks,neck and throat.Then he mouthed without speaking aloud-a fewwords in Mandarin（普通话）to the audience.A few seconds later,the phrase was displayed on a computer screen andspoken out

47、 by the computer in English and Spanish:Let me introduce our new prototype.This particular gadget（爸 号 械）,when fully developed,might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or,asWaibel put it,“to switch your mouth to a foreign language”.The idea behind the universitys prototypes is to create

48、 goodenough bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,“Waibel said.With spontaneous（自发的）translators,foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio,touristsin China could read all the signs and talk with local people,and leaders of diffe
